ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Weight and Caloric Deficit
« on: July 21, 2011, 08:40:22 pm »
Okay, so I've been trying to gain weight for a long time. (I've had quite a few setbacks, but I've made decent improvements in strength and at good times I have been up slightly)
So here's the deal: I've started tracking calories from all my food with FitDay, which is a pretty sweet program for logging stuff actually, except you can't make weight GAIN goals, it's geared towards loss.
I still have at least one meal left today, so this isn't really relevant until later tonight. So far I'm at a 400 calorie deficit, from what the program is giving me. (which seems to be pretty accurate by all accounts) This is on a heavy lifting day of course. I plan on using it to help me balance my diet more and eat better for my goals, BUT here's the question that's been on my mind for a while:
Is it possible to gain weight with a caloric deficit? If I remain fairly active even on off-lifting days, but eat plenty of protein, could I, at least in theory, still gain weight over time despite a deficit?
EDIT: this is, of course, speaking strictly in terms of muscle mass. I know you would lose some fat, but that can only go so far... I'm probably wrong, but wouldn't you get leaner for a while and then start gaining some weight? Not sure if that's the best way to phrase the question.

MUSiC anD SHeeT! / Stuff I'll be playing for auditions and such.
« on: January 30, 2011, 09:16:02 pm »
This is what I'm playing for solo & ensemble in March.

Kid's pretty good, but I hope I sound just as good or better.
These two are my college audition pieces. Wynton Marsalis takes the Haydn a bit faster than I will, but you get the idea.

EDIT: Oh, the cadenza that Wynton Marsalis does at the end of the Haydn Concerto is DEFINITELY not what I'm playing. Way too long... way to hard....

800m+ Running and/or Conditioning / Tarahumara: The Running People
« on: November 09, 2010, 06:13:34 pm »
From a sweet article I saw. (Also because they live in the same place I'm from in Mexico and I think my grandpa is part Tarahumara, which makes me part, which makes me feel badass).

MUSiC anD SHeeT! / My Favorite Trumpeter
« on: October 18, 2010, 10:32:19 pm »
This guy is my hero. He could literally do anything that I can imagine wanting to do. Check out some of the vids. Most insane is the violin concerto for trumpet. (because he doesn't rest and I have no idea where he's breathing) Too bad there's not an actual video for it. My favorite is the third one where he plays with his twin boys.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Scrawny to Brawny Journal
« on: July 20, 2010, 11:59:30 pm »
I'm doing the program and diet from the book "Scrawny to Brawny" in order to bulk up before track. I'll try to post here every day of the program until the end of Phase IV. (I'm on Phase II, Day 2, I'll start from Day 1 of Phase II)
Day 1: This is my first real day training since I tore my deltoid. My morning smoothie didn't sit too well with me and when I got home from my workout I threw up, just a bit. I'm still getting used to the extra calories I'm taking in, eating when you're not hungry isn't too easy for me. After my morning workout I felt like I hadn't done enough, but I remember it was explicitly written in the book not to add to the weight lifting. Sure enough, when I went to bed I started feeling my quads get sore along with my outer chest.
Day 2: I woke up a little later today in favor of doing my interval cardio workout towards the evening. Sleep was worth it, but I think work is going to slow me down as far as eating goes. I can't really have my snacks when I need to and my lunch and snack come a little too closely to eat comfortably. I'll have to space my meals a little better. When I did my sprints I started feeling pretty bad and I threw up after I was finished. It was most likely because I hadn't followed a good schedule with my food and I wasn't as well hydrated as I should have been. Right now just running hurts even my chest because of how sore it is.
That's all for today. I'm also starting a picture a day thing, at the end of the program I'll make a video to show my progress. I hope to get a lot of insight from other members and I also hope to make really good progress all the way through. Thanks for reading!

Introduce Yourself / Hurdles. :D
« on: July 20, 2010, 10:55:45 pm »
I'm Omar (I go by Zetz online) I'm a high school hurdler. I just started a program called Scrawny to Brawny so I can bulk up before my last high school track season. I'm hoping to hear from other people with my same interests and I'm here to get help in that. Feel free to check out my youtube channel. (not much there, but it's a start)
